So the other day I had an amazing day, but I couldn't be happy for some reason. I started crying directly after school and I couldn't stop. I've had an amazing year, and the only thing that I think could be affecting was a death in my family, but that was about a year ago. And if anybody says anything to me, or directed at me, I burst into tears or I start to feel sick. What is this?

Hun... death affects you for more than a year. How close were you to the family memeber? You're probably still grieving, especially if the family member was at all close.
It's 7 and a half years later, and around mother's day, my mom's death STILL affects me. So... yes, that death could easily be affecting you over a year later.

The thing is, I haven't shown any of these symptoms when she first died or even months after. Why now? And she wasn't really family, but I thought of her like she was, if that gives you any clue to how close she was. 3nodding

I didn't, really, either... sometimes... you're just in shock for that long. It's just part of the grieving process... something to deal with... but, not something "wrong" persay. You have to calm down a bit... and maybe try grieving some in private, or with a trusted friend/family member. It sounds like you never really dealt with the loss.

Neither did I, and that fact is coming back to haunt me.
Also, everyone deals with it their own way. I find it very helpful to have friends support me, and just listen when I need to talk about it. If you need that, PM me anytime. Loss... is a hard thing to deal with, and it take YEARS, and... from older people who lost longer ago, I hear it never completely goes away, just gets easier to handle.

If you are otherwise completely happy or content with your life, and honestly can find no reason for your sudden mood shift, I vote that you're just thinking too much into it. If you are not prone to having sudden mood changes or bouts of crying (or even elevated episodes of joy) then you were just having an 'off' day. Everyone, primarily women, have them.
You could have been about to start your period, maybe your hormones were in a fury, hell - it really could have been anything.
I sincerely doubt that anything is truly wrong with you if this was a one time thing. Its human to cry, even for no reason. I wouldn't be worried about it. ^^

Sweetie, you'll never completely get over someone's death, especially someone really close to you. My mother died 4 years ago and I'm still affected. Sometimes shock or other things can be in the way of grieving.
As for ways to cope? It's different for everyone, but some suggestions would be writing, listening to music, doing activities you enjoy, being hugged, ect.

jmgirl alright ive been to enough shrinks to know that u for sure have a panic disorder And how would you know what she has? She won't know until she goes to see a doctor, or a mental health professional (like a psychologist). Please don't give out medical advice, because unless you have a degree and can prove what you're saying, you're just all talk. To the original poster: You might have a panic disorder, as jmgirl has suggested, or it might be something else. You can try talking to a doctor, who might then refer you to a counsellor or psychologist. Or you can go see a mental health professional directly. I have a friend who has panic and anxiety attacks, and what you've described sounds a little like her. However everyone is different, and it'd be best to get an opinion/diagnosis from a medical professional.
